Taking a break from his busy schedule of calling people cooperating with his own government enforcement agencies “rats,” and perpetuating the perfect political conditions in which refugee children can die, Donald Trump returned to one of his favorite leisure activities this morning: Whining and moaning about Saturday…

Suggesting that he might not have a perfect grasp of how to show respect to an ex and her attempts to get on with her life—or possibly that he’s just watched Love fucking Actually too many goddamn times—rapper Offset decided it would be very cool to crash his separated wife Cardi B’s headlining set at Los Angeles’…

On last night’s Matt Damon-hosted Saturday Night Live, there was plenty of holiday cheer to go around. Donald Trump got It’s A Wonderful Life-d. Christmas ornaments found out where you go once your tacky novelty wears off. Damon affectingly choked up during a monologue about his late dad letting young Matt stay up…

There are some gigs in the entertainment industry that seem fairly easy, and then there’s Charles Martinet’s job voicing Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi in various Nintendo games. A couple times a year, when Nintendo has a new Super Mario Bros. or Mario Kart or Mario Tennis ready to go, he just has to rattle off a…

Podcasting is still pretty hot these days, especially as the TV industry is concerned, with the success of Homecoming on Amazon more than making up for the failure of Zach Braff’s similarly podcast-inspired Alex, Inc.—which ABC canceled earlier this year. According to Deadline, NBC is developing another TV show based…

David Letterman said earlier this year that his post-Late Show adventures have been so fulfilling that he wishes he had quit his CBS job much earlier, so he has unsurprisingly decided to continue what is probably the most lucrative of those post-Late Show adventures with another season of his Netflix talk show My Next…

There are only a few weeks left until January, and we all know what that means: Some new things will be available on streaming platforms! Woo! Well, try to contain your excitement, you maniac, because Hulu’s new offerings in January aren’t exactly going to blow you away. They’re not bad, and we’ve definitely seen…

It seems like there’s a different heartwarming story that goes viral on social media every day, with everybody saying that this new heartwarming story is the only one that matters and that all others are garbage, but social media actually got it right this time with a tearjerker called “My Dad’s Friendship With…

With the holidays fast approaching like a runaway Christmas train with an eggnog-blasted Santa at the controls, it’s an inescapable conclusion that the overwhelming majority of holiday movies are cold garbage. Stephen Colbert knows it, having attempted to save Christmas himself at one point, but he’s just one man,…

Dismaying fans of trashy reality shows and historical intrigue alike, co-creator Natasha Leggero announced tonight that Comedy Central has decided not to pick up a fourth season of Another Period. The series—which was co-created by Riki Lindhome, who, with Leggero, played a pair of psychotically selfish sisters…

Making the move from “He’ll flip ya; he’ll flip ya for real” to “Swiper, no swiping,” THR confirmed today that Benicio del Toro, of all people, has signed on for a starring role in James Bobin’s Dora The Explorer movie. Fresh off murdering the shit out of a whole bunch of people in the latest Sicario film, del Toro…

Confirming that, yes, Downton Abbey is still a house that could, charitably, be described as “fancy as fuck” now that it’s making the move to the big screen, Focus Features released the first teaser trailer for the series’ feature film continuation onto the internet today.

Look, we know when we’re being pandered to. But that doesn’t somehow make the pandering any less effective, especially when it hits upon our deep and abiding affection for Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Terry Crews.

We regret to inform you that musical supervillain Mr. Worldwide has now extended his domain to the very bottom of our planet’s oceans, as Warner Bros. unleashed the soundtrack for next week’s soaked superhero flick Aquaman onto the internet last night. Despite competition from crooner Skylar Grey and the film’s…

The Emmys are, by their nature, a reactive body, typically rewarding the sorts of things that worked reasonably well in the past, and frequently playing a cranky game of catch-up with a television industry that’s been radically mutating for the last 20 years. Case in point: The Academy’s Outstanding Television Movie…

As the “arms race” for original streaming content rolls on, so, too, does the war for lucrative IP. We saw it play it out in microcosm when Netflix paid $100 million to keep Friends on its platform for another year, and we’re seeing it unfold on the grand scale with Amazon’s acquisition of the Lord Of The Rings brand…

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom teased a sequel that would see its dinosaurs infiltrating the mainland, thus pursuing one of the exact storylines that made The Lost World: Jurassic Park such a disappointment. Granted, the Jurassic World franchise has, creatively at least, been nothing but a disappointment, so the…

Paul Schrader made one of the year’s best films in First Reformed, a searing, contemplative exploration of religious purpose evoking the transcendental style of Yasujiro Ozu and Robert Bresson. He’s also kicked everyone’s ass at Words With Friends, the multiplayer puzzle game that he apparently boots up whenever he’s…
